The Annual General Meeting will be held at on Tuesday 19th November 2024 at 7:30pm in the Watney Room, Emmanuel Church, Normanton Road. We are delighted to welcome Matthew Frith, Director of Policy and Research at the London Wildlife Trust who will be presenting “The beacon of Croham Hurst; its role in a future nature recovery network”. Please do join us to listen to Matthew and, also hear about our work in the Woods and our future plans. It is always a very interesting evening and refreshments will be provided
New steps were built by the Council at Bankside. These were badly needed as the area had become very slippery after a very wet and cold winter.
Steps on the South side of the Hurst:
The steps climbing up to the large clearing which houses the ancient barrow were refurbished by the Downlands Trust volunteers. The Downlands Trust installed the original steps back in 1995 and it is a tribute to their work that they have lasted so long. They went back to the site and replaced ones that had deteriorated and installed a number of new ones. We are really grateful for this work and appreciate their long association with the Hurst.
For those who remember, the Downlands Trust, along with the Friends of Croham Hurst Woods, were contributors to the creation of the meadow adjacent to the West Hill entrance.
